#Have scientists found a cure for deafness? Gene therapy that restores hearing in mice could be used on humans in just five years By Ellie Zolfagharifard For Dailymail. com and Reuters Published:
01:22 GMT, 9 july 2015 Gene therapy to treat hereditary human deafness could be available within five years.
Research revealed today shows the revolutionary technique is capable of fixing faulty DNA to let genetic deaf mice hear again.
Separately, a similar Novartis gene therapy trial is under way to help restore hearing in people who have become deaf through damage or disease.
The latest study found that mice with genetic hearing loss could sense noises after receiving healthy copies of their faulty genes.
Scientists say the mice mutated genes are similar to those responsible for some hereditary human deafness
In the case of deafness, this involves injecting a gene-carrying engineered virus into the inner ear.
There are currently no approved disease-modifying treatments for disabling hearing loss, which affects some 360 million people,
Much of the hearing loss in older people is noise-induced or age-related but at least half of deafness that occurs before a baby learns to speak is caused by defects in one of more than 70 individual genes.
It is these infants Swiss and U s. researchers hope to help, after showing that replacing a mutated gene improved the function of hair cells of the inner ear and partially restored hearing in deaf mice.
Scientists from The swiss Federal Institute of technology in Lausanne and the Boston Children's Hospital, tested hearing in newborn mutant mice by seeing how high they jumped
which is a common cause of human genetic deafness, accounting for 4 to 8 percent of cases.

#Gene therapy Restores Hearing In Deaf Mice Using gene therapy, researchers at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical school have restored hearing in mice with a genetic form of deafness.

Charles Askew More than 70 different genes are known to cause deafness when mutated. Holt, with first author Charles Askew and colleagues at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland, focused on a gene called TMC1.
because it is a common cause of genetic deafness, accounting for 4 to 8 percent of cases,
Children with two mutant copies of TMC1 have profound hearing loss from a very young age, usually by around 2 years.
--and is a good model for the dominant form of TMC1-related deafness. In this form, less common than the recessive form, a single copy of the mutation causes children to gradually go deaf beginning around the age of 10 to 15 years.
To deliver the healthy gene, the team inserted it into an engineered virus called adeno-associated virus 1,
In the recessive deafness model, gene therapy with TMC1 restored the ability of sensory hair cells to respond to sound--producing a measurable electrical current--and also restored activity in the auditory portion of the brainstem.
Most importantly, the deaf mice regained their ability to hear. To test hearing, the researchers placed the mice in a"startle box
In the dominant deafness model, gene therapy with a related gene, TMC2, was successful at the cellular and brain level,
